Position player

In baseball, a position player is a player who on defense plays as an infielder, outfielder, or catcher.

A pitcher is generally not considered a position player.

Position players are eligible to pitch, and a manager will use a position player as a relief pitcher on some occasions.

[1] In ice hockey, "position player" refers to all non-goaltender players (forwards and defencemen), although "skater" is the more common term.
